Even though his penalty letter was dated February 2, it was allegedly delivered a day too late.

Beckham’s solicitor Nick Freeman, who has earned the nickname Mr Loophole, is disputing the charges.

The former footballer will stand trial on September 27, when the verdict will be passed.

NO NEED FOR SPEED: Even though penalties can be disputed, its best to avoid them completely

Motorists who believe their speeding notice has violated the act are within their rights to dispute it.

Driving Expert advises: “If you receive a speeding ticket for a speeding incident that happened more than fourteen days previously, you should write back immediately to the authority that issued the speeding ticket and inform them that the correct time limit in which speeding tickets should be issued has elapsed.

“You may be lucky enough to have your speeding cancelled straight away at this point, but many people find that this is not the case and that they have to carry on fighting their corner to win their case.

“If all else fails, this may eventually result in you choosing to attend a court hearing for your speeding ticket case, but this can be a risky decision given the court costs that you could be made to pay if you lose.”
